Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Burnt (out Oct 22) is a frustrating, pointless drama about a self-absorbed chef (Bradley Cooper) trying to put his demons (drugs, alcohol, women) in the past and earn a third Michelin star for his London restaurant. The supporting cast are underutilised, the script lack coherence, and the film is evasive about the chef's past. Hard to feel sympathy for such a troubled character. Grade: C.
